Hard Labor Creek Reservoir was scheduled to open to the public for fishing this month, but officials say that weather has delayed it.

“The grand opening of Hard Labor Creek Reservoir has been delayed due to recent inclement weather and cold temperatures that have prevented the pouring of concrete,” Walton County public information officer Diane Baggett said in a press release. “Construction on the boat ramp and other facilities is now expected to be completed in late January or early February.”
